Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 stalk (finely diced) celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely diced) red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 halves English muffin
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (softened) butter (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on your oven to high.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it into a medium bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl with the tuna. Mix everything together until well combined.
Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffin halves if desired, and place them on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up.
Evenly distribute the tuna mixture onto the English muffin halves, spreading it out to cover the tops.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese onto each tuna-covered English muffin half.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 4-6 inches from the heating element. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the tunawiches cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Broiled Tunawiches!
